Starting with repairs left over from winter: - replace fender
- replace wheel bearing(s)
- replace washer fluid pump
- replace wideband sensor (went bad)
- fix paint chip in hood
- replace exhaust gasket around DP
- fix door creek/hinge
non-repairs - coolant flush and clean sensor (switch to green?)
- reconnect supercharger and align it, replace cog belt
- replace spark plugs
- assess brake line rust. replace if necessary
- alignment after suspension stuff
- oil
upgrades - water/air intercooler
- lowering springs (possibly new struts)
- dual exhaust tips (again)
- a few custom electronics and switches
it was good to gather my thoughts... haha

When I get time:
Tint Windows (looking @ 20%)
3 inch DP 304/U-bend Delete
Clear corners
Added: Paint calipers (Black/Red undecided)
New D/S R1 Rotors and brakes (either Hawk/R1, haven't decided yet)
Added More: Coolant Flush and clean/replace coolant sensor
Possibly:
17/18 inch Black Bullits
Flowmaster Muffs (Haven't decided if I want to mess with the exhaust)
3.4 Pulley w/ supporting mods
Doubtful but looking:
Aftermarket Hood
Rockers
I just need a second car, so I can work on the GP.

I also want to work on the Ford probe, and get it running again. The GTP is going to sit for the summer is gas keeps going up.
Also I would like to go to more meets/mods. Also take the GTP to the track.
